Subject: [MARION COUNTY, IN] Blackburn around Castleton 1930's, 1960's
I have two loose end Blackburns and so far I can't figure out where they are
buried.
1) Jesse William Blackburn & his wife Flossie J. (Kesselring). They had no
children. But I don't want to leave them out of my book, either! He was
born
in 1880 in Hamilton Co and she was born 1888 in Boone Co (both IN). I found
him in a city directory in 1958. His address was 6706 E. 82nd, Castleton,
IN.
He would have been about 78 years old. I ran the address through Google and
it gave me the street, but said it was in Indy, and it was a Starbuck's. I
ran cemeteries around that address. I called Oaklawn, Union Chapel, and
Crown
Hill. Neither Jesse or his wife was there. Since Jesse had siblings in
Fishers, I ran cemeteries around there. Hamilton Memorial Park is only 8
years old
and I got no answer at Crownland. The guy at Hamilton told me to call
Crownland before 12 noon. So I will do that tomorrow.
2) Grover C. Blackburn (Jesse's brother), was born in 1886 in Fishers. He
married and divorced and had no children. The only info I can get is from
his
86 year old niece who had a stroke last year. She said he died in a special
home next to the V.A. Hospital from some illness. She thought he died after
WWII. I think he died sometime between the 1930 census and 1946 (brother
Charles
died in 1946 and Grover is not mentioned in the obit). Again, he's not in
any of those cemeteries above.
Does anyone have any idea of where to look for these people?
Thanks,
